After Xia Qingtian was seated, someone immediately served tea. Yue Chengdong sat beside Xia Qingtian, while the Yue family head sat opposite them.
Sipping the light tea, Xia Qingtian felt her hangover had improved considerably.
"I originally didn't want to mention this to you," the Yue family head said after a pause. "Nor should I have."
"Qingtian, how much do you know about that organization?" Yue Chengdong asked, looking at Xia Qingtian.
"Actually, not that much," Xia Qingtian replied, her beautiful eyes darting. "Seeing your reactions earlier, Grandfather and Uncle must have heard about the new energy matter, right?"
"Then you should also know about Dr. Li and his wife. Plus, Grandfather watched my variety show, so you know that Dr. Li's daughter is my best friend, right?"
Seeing the Yue family head and Yue Chengdong nod, Xia Qingtian continued, "Actually, when Li Xiaoxiao was kidnapped by them before, I was there too. It was I who asked Young Master Lei San of the Lei family for help, which is how Li Xiaoxiao was rescued."
"What!" The Yue family head's eyelids twitched anxiously upon hearing Xia Qingtian's words. "Were you not injured?"
"No, because Young Master Lei San was the one who primarily handled it. I only went to ask for his help," Xia Qingtian quickly said. "I wasn't on the front lines at all. I only took Xiaoxiao to the hospital afterwards."
"It's good that you weren't injured," Yue Chengdong said with a sigh of relief. "So they've developed a grudge against you too?"
"Probably..." Xia Qingtian thought for a moment. "To be precise, they've probably held a grudge for a long time."
Since Qiu Xinxue died in her room, Xia Qingtian was almost certain of it.
That group had set their sights on her.
And when faced with system tasks, she had not chosen to ignore Li Xiaoxiao's kidnapping, thus losing the opportunity for them to extend an olive branch to her.
They were destined to be enemies.
"This..." The Yue family head's brows furrowed upon hearing this.
They had deliberately not interacted much with their granddaughter over the years precisely because they didn't want Xia Qingtian to get entangled in this mess.
Now, it seemed all those efforts were meaningless.
That group simply didn't want them to have peace!
"This is too much!" The Yue family head was unaware of the matter concerning Mobius. He only thought that the organization, while targeting the Yue family, was also not letting Xia Qingtian off, and he instantly became enraged.
"Grandfather, I want to ask you something," Xia Qingtian pursed her lips and asked the question that was troubling her. "If... I mean if... the Xia family encountered a calamity of annihilation, my father was slandered and committed suicide, and I was also imprisoned, and I called back for help... would you save me?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" the Yue family head asked, confused. "If something happened to the Xia family, as long as the Yue family still stands, we would definitely bring you back immediately."
"Yes, Qingtian, are you still not sober from the alcohol?" Yue Chengdong asked with the same confused expression.
"Yes, I'm still not sober," Xia Qingtian said, showing a visibly relieved smile at the words of the Yue family head and Yue Chengdong. "I had a nightmare, a... very terrifying nightmare."
"Silly child, you can't take dreams seriously," Yue Chengdong said dotingly, rubbing Xia Qingtian's head.
"But that dream was too real. In the dream, I called the Yue family for help, and someone told me... if I died, and if there was no more Xia family, then the copyrights my mother left me could return to the Yue family," Xia Qingtian said, carefully observing the expressions of the Yue family head and Yue Chengdong.
"You're overthinking things," the Yue family head chuckled, standing up and retrieving a document from the bookshelf to hand to Xia Qingtian. "Here, this is the will I made three months ago."
"W-will?" Xia Qingtian was startled. "Why out of the blue..."
"Don't make that face. Your grandfather isn't that afraid of death, but I'm afraid of dying in an unclear or unjustified manner," the Yue family head chuckled. "Just turn to the tenth page and read from the ninth line."
"Okay." Xia Qingtian opened the will. On the ninth line of the tenth page, it began to mention matters concerning Xia Qingtian.
Not much, just a few lines.
When Xia Qingtian turned twenty, she would receive 5% of the shares in Yue's Jewelry. After Xia Qingtian got married, she would receive another 5% of the shares in Yue's Jewelry as dowry.
When Xia Qingtian turned thirty, the copyrights for "Night Moon," "Sleepless," and "Sonata" would be directly transferred to Xia Qingtian's name.
From then on, fifty percent of the sales revenue from these three series of jewelry would be directly deposited into Xia Qingtian's account as her personal property.
Concurrently, two hundred million yuan would be allocated from the Yue family head's estate as an education fund for Xia Qingtian's children and as Xia Qingtian's personal pension fund. The specific allocation details were in Appendix Article Twelve.
Reading these few lines brought tears to Xia Qingtian's eyes.
Her grandfather had considered her future, but he had never imagined that she wouldn't even live to be thirty, wouldn't have children, and wouldn't even have the chance to grow old.
In her past life, after her leg was broken on the day of her college entrance examination, she had isolated herself, spending ten years in gloomy suffering before being burned alive.
In her grandfather's imagination, her life should have been peaceful and smooth. Perhaps in old age, she would have been a cheerful old lady.
But alas, she had disappointed her grandfather.
Not only had she failed to fulfill his wish, but she had also been wary of the Yue family for so long because of a phone call that she didn't know who had answered.
To be honest, before she died, she had probably resented the Yue family.
By then, her grandfather would have likely passed away, perhaps yesterday, or perhaps today.
Meanwhile, she, immersed in her world of a broken leg, paid no attention to the outside world.
What right did she have to resent the Yue family?
A flood of emotions washed over her, and Xia Qingtian's nose felt sore, her eyes reddening.
"Why are you crying all of a sudden?" The Yue family head became anxious seeing Xia Qingtian like this. "Do you feel it's not enough? It's okay, it's okay, if it's not enough, Grandfather will give you more. How much do you want? Grandfather will have the lawyer come over right now to revise it! Tell me, how much do you want?"
"I want Grandfather to live..." Xia Qingtian covered her face with her hands and cried, "I want Grandfather to live forever..."
"Well, calling a lawyer might not help with that..." the Yue family head said, a little distressed.
"Live! Live well! Uncle, hire the best nutritionists, caregivers, physical therapists... In short! Make sure Grandfather lives well, don't cry, don't cry..." Yue Chengdong also flusteredly comforted Xia Qingtian.
"Yes, yes, yes! Grandfather avoids alcohol and meat, practices Tai Chi! He will definitely live well!" the Yue family head also chimed in to comfort Xia Qingtian.
Xia Qingtian cried for a while before gradually subsiding into soft sobs.
The Yue family head and Yue Chengdong finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Uncle..." Xia Qingtian's eyes were still red, her voice like a cat's, and just one call softened Yue Chengdong's heart completely.
At that moment, Yue Chengdong made a decision: no matter what Xia Qingtian wanted, he would help his niece get it!
Even if it meant giving up his entire fortune, he wouldn't hesitate!
"Qingtian, tell me!" Yue Chengdong's eyes were resolute as he looked at Xia Qingtian with sincere conviction.
No matter what request Xia Qingtian made, he would not hesitate.
No matter what questions Xia Qingtian asked, he would not conceal anything.
"I have a black card here. It was in my hand when I woke up... Do you know whose it is?"
"Ah, this..."
